A wonderful plot device, a reunion, of sorts, of three murderesses from prior Brokenwood episodes. Series six never disappoints, and was well worth the wait. We're looking forward to Series 7.
Sharon Maughan's character, an emotional Kate Donne, is offered a cup, takes a sip, and then remarks, with a grimace, that she hates coffee. It's a clever, ironic peeling back of the fourth wall, since between 1987 and 1993, Maugham would co-star in a popular series of TV commercials for Nescafé coffee.
A reviewer suggests Shakespearean aspects; could not agree more. This entire series, with Ep. 4 as capstone, was "Endeavour" at its finest. Eager for series 7, if it were to wrap now, however, I would be satisfied. (I remain rather bruised from the conclusion of the brilliant "George Gently" series.)
Anton Lesser's ACC Bright's performance brought me quite uncharacteristically to tears three times in this episode; taking command at the structural crisis, throughout the storyline with his dear wife, and that epic moment of so few words of restoration with his team at the conclusion, particularly towards Morse. I almost expected the appellation, Inspector, but was grateful for what we do see, instead.
The performance of Caroline O'Neill as Win Thursday, served as an important force in helping to define the tone of the sixth series; such a departure from the early days, long gone the predictable sack lunches for her husband.
